1.Raise the blade guard foot (1) by loosening the blade guard foot lock knob (2) on the right side of the upper arm. Measure from the tip of the blade (3) to the desired distance. Position the straight edge (4) parallel to the blade at that distance.
2.Clamp the straight edge to the table (5).
3.Recheck your measurements, using the workpiece to be cut, and make sure the scrap wood is secure.
4.Position the workpiece against the blade and place the blade guard foot (1) slightly above the top surface of the workpiece.
5.Secure the blade guard foot in place by tightening the blade guard foot lock knob.
6.Remove the workpiece from the blade prior to turning the scroll saw ON (I). Set the desired speed by turning the control knob clockwise or counterclockwise.
WARNING
In order to avoid uncontrollable lifting of the workpiece and to reduce blade breakage, do not turn the saw ON
(I) while the workpiece is against the blade.
7.Position the workpiece against the straight edge (4) prior to touching the leading edge of the workpiece against the blade (3).
8.Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade, guiding the workpiece against the straight edge and press the workpiece down against the table while cutting.
WARNING
Do not force the leading edge of the workpiece into the blade. The blade will deflect, reducing accuracy of cut, and may break.
9.When the cut is complete, move the trailing edge of the workpiece beyond the blade guard foot. Turn the scroll saw OFF (O).
NOTE: When cutting a narrow workpiece, use push sticks.
